Master Changsheng

Chapter 333, Section 330: Adulterers

"An'an Kai, kid?!"

"How the hell did you die too?!"

"No! You're not dead."

"[Summoning Gate] What the heck?!"

"Huh?! Did you summon me even though I was dead?!"

"What kind of tricks are you using?!"

"No wonder you let me choose and let us both die."

"So you had this trick up your sleeve!"

"You'd been planning this all along, hadn't you?"

"Once you're on my pirate ship, there's no getting off."

"Even if I die, I'll still be dragged out to be a laborer."

"What kind of mess is this?"

Before the Summoning Gate, Hanks wore a bitter expression and rambled on about his inner turmoil.

Ankai, however, ignored him, watching Hanks silently with a playful expression.

What did this old man call him before, "Ankai Kid"?

Um.

Ankai felt he had something to settle with Hanks.

I don't know if Hanks is getting senile, or if he was just summoned and hasn't realized it yet.

He acted as if he hadn't seen An Kai's expression.

He was still muttering to himself that he was too old to die peacefully.

As he spoke, he reached out to put his arm around Widow Wang's shoulder, just like he always did.

He instinctively reached out, but grasped at nothing.

"Um?"

"Where is she?"

Hanks froze, staring blankly at Ankai: "Ankai, where...where is she?"

I heard the nickname "Ankai Boy" again.

An Kai felt a warmth in his heart.

It was this rather disrespectful form of address that he had always wanted to protect.

Because this is the real Hanks.

This is his true old friend.

It's one thing to know, but another thing to do.

But if he doesn't show any performance when he hears "Ankai Kid", is he still Ankai?

So when Ankai heard Hanks ask him...

An Kai gave a mocking sneer.

I lay back, and a frozen bed appeared.

Ankai lay lazily on the frozen bed, turned to his side, his right hand arched, propping up his chin, looking at Hanks with amusement:

"who is she?"

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Upon seeing Ankai's pretentious demeanor, Hanks immediately sensed something was wrong: "Oh no!"

"I've gotten used to calling him 'Ankai kid'!"

"That kid is as petty as ever!"

"Ahem, I can hear you even if you're thinking it in your head~" Ankai's voice suddenly resounded in Hanks' mind.

Hanks quickly suppressed his thoughts.

Pretending not to hear An Kai's voice, she quickly burst into laughter to cover up her embarrassment.

Then, when he spoke again, the style suddenly changed:

"Hahaha, thank you for your appreciation, Lord Ankai. This old man certainly hasn't lived enough!"

"It is truly an honor to be able to serve Lord Ankai."

"It wasn't just me; she often mentioned the Master, saying that with his abilities, he would surely be able to rescue us from the world where true spirits exist."

"I'm getting old, and this old man's taste is even worse than a woman's. Sigh."

As he spoke, Hanks quickly jogged over to Ankai's side.

He leaned over An Kai, a fawning smile on his face, and said, "Um... um."

"Lord Ankai, you know me. I can't live without her in my entire life. I can't live without her."

"It is an immense honor for us to serve Lord Ankai like slaves!"

Otherwise, why would Ankai summon Hanks?

Hanks certainly knows Ankai very well.

He also understood the importance of maintaining a proper balance when interacting with An Kai.

A few words of flattery and An Kai was already on cloud nine.

An Kai had heard too much flattery from strangers and had become numb to it.

It's different from Hanks.

He had been waiting for this day for a very long time.

Ankai had been looking forward to this day since Hanks had taken a detached view of life and death, started to put on airs, and called himself "Ankai the Kid".

I'm looking forward to seeing what Hanks' face will look like on that day.

It must be said that Ankai's perverse sense of humor played a part in this.

It was only Hanks who could inspire Ankai to play tricks on him; if it were anyone else, Ankai wouldn't waste a single word on them.

Hanks' drastically changed demeanor perfectly matched Ankai's expectations for this day.

He stood up, and with a thought, dispelled the frozen bed.

The domain suddenly appeared.

Envelop Hanks and him.

A series of palace complexes came into view.

This was the first time Hanks had seen Ankai's [Domain].

This is also the first time I've seen such a neat and uniform palace complex.

"Hanks, do you know whose house that is?"

At this moment, Ankai turned his back to Hanks.

High spirits.

It's like introducing this to relatives and friends: "Look, this is all the empire I conquered!"

Hanks, who knew Ankai perfectly well, knew exactly what he needed to do at this moment, and what Ankai needed at this moment.

Ankai needs a qualified straight man!

And Hanks is there to play the straight man.

This is the tacit understanding between him and An Kai.

"With so many magnificent palaces, what kind of beings could possibly live there?"

"Could it be a deity?"

After Hanks finished speaking, he opened his mouth wide in an exaggerated manner, then suddenly covered it with both hands, as if he had said something extraordinary.

"That's right! It's a god!"

"This isn't just any ordinary deity!"

"Those who live here"

"It's the [God of Law]!"

An Kai didn't keep them in suspense and gave them the answer directly.

"What the hell?!"

"[The God of Law]?!"

Hanks was truly stunned this time.

Although his strength was weak.

Although he was indifferent to worldly affairs.

However, he understood some basic things about gods.

For example, "The power of the deity is ranked ninth."

Furthermore, the [God of Law] is not among the [Nine Ranks of Gods], but occupies the position of [Supreme God].

Hanks had guessed that the place Ankai was referring to was a remnant of the gods.

Based on his understanding of Ankai, only something left behind by a "god" would be something that would make the other party act like a child and show off to his friend.

But Hanks never expected that this place was actually left behind by the God of Magic!

[God of Laws]

Those are the true gods standing at the top of the pyramid!

This is not the time before the gods awakened.

Before the divine realm awakened, he could still curse, "The God of Magic is blind, allowing that brat Ankai to have the talent of a mage," and so on.

However, the more he learned, the more Hanks felt a deep sense of awe for such a powerful deity as the "God of Law".

Ankai was very satisfied to see Hanks' genuine surprise.

【Divine Court God of Law】is also 【God of Law】, that makes sense.

After all, their names both contain the words "God of Law".

Since the [domain] was acquired.

An Kai was incredibly proud.

With his strength, it's hard not to be arrogant to obtain a domain even more powerful than a god.

So the urge to show off never stopped.

However, given his status, he didn't have many people to boast about.

Only Wayne and Hanks

He boasted about it to Wayne.

Who knew that Wayne, like a bookworm, thought it was normal for Ankai to have these abilities, and that it would be abnormal if he didn't.

This greatly frustrated Ankai.

He didn't find the thrill of showing off that belonged to him.

Later, when he wanted to show off to Hanks, Hanks, by then, had already become indifferent to life and death.

So Ankai delayed.

He had been waiting, waiting for the day when Hanks would be summoned by him.

as predicted.

When Hanks uttered the words "God of Law," he made an expression that greatly pleased Ankai.

This greatly satisfied his desire to show off.

Ankai said that Hanks allowed him to retain a sliver of humanity.

That's exactly the kind of scenario I'm describing.

Ankai only shows the emotions that a "mortal" should have when he is with Hanks or Wayne.

Furthermore, because Wayne believed that whatever Ankai said or did was right, Ankai didn't get much emotional satisfaction from him.

Seeing that Hanks was impressed by his methods, Ankai pressed his advantage and continued, "Hanks, do you want to become a god?"

"Become a god?"

Hanks stared in astonishment, his mouth agape.

He had considered this idea before, but after learning about the various limitations of becoming a god, he gave up on it.

Hearing An Kai say this, the thoughts he once had about gods resurfaced.

Becoming a god and achieving immortality have always been obsessions for beings in the divine realm, the insect realm, and the abyss.

Now that Ankai has said this, Hanks believes that Ankai must have a way to make him a god.

Because he understands Ankai.

Ankai never makes promises he can't keep.

If he can't deliver, Ankai would rather not make any promises and use force to get something for nothing than make any empty promises.

Here, give it a try.

As he spoke, An Kai took out a [Divine Spark Fragment] from his pocket.

A rich aura of energy enveloped Hanks in an instant.

Hanks didn't know this was a "Fragment of Godhood," and even if he knew the name, he didn't know its function.

This was because it was the first time he had ever seen an object with such concentrated energy.

Encouraged by Ankai.

Hanks swallowed the [Divine Fragment] whole.

They devoured it like some rare delicacy, tilting their heads back and swallowing it whole.

then.

Hanks in his True Spirit form is visibly gaining strength!

[Unity: Triple Control Domain]

[Unity: Fourfold Control]

[Unity: Tenfold Domain Control]

[Unity: Tenfold Realm Integration]!

In the blink of an eye.

Hanks' abilities have greatly improved!

Upgraded to [Unity: Tenth Level of Domain Integration]!

He is only one step away from reaching the realm of a Ninth-Rank Deity!

This moment.

Hanks completely believed Ankai's words.

He truly has the power to become a god!

His old face was filled with excitement.

Hanks looked at Ankai, his mouth trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence.

The former scout from the seven desert kingdoms never imagined that one day he would be so close to the gods.

Originally became a god

It's really simple!

"An'an."

Faced with Hanks's excited gratitude, Ankai simply waved his hand dismissively.

He already knew that the [Divine Fragment] could enable a living being to reach the [Unity: Tenth Level of Domain Integration].

Furthermore, he also knew that a complete [Divinity] could truly allow beings at the [Unity: Tenth Level of Realm Integration] to become gods!

"How about it? Didn't I tell you I wasn't lying?"

"I, Ankai, am known as the Honest and Trustworthy Young Man. Why would I, a mere deity, lie to you?"

"Hanks, I'm not trying to be mean, but you old man, you're probably judging others by your own petty standards."

Ankai patted Hanks on the shoulder, looking like an older brother, and said with a smile.

Hanks kept his head down and said softly, "Yes, yes, Lord Ankai is right."

In fact, Ankai could train Hanks into a god right now.

However, the [divinity] is also a relatively important resource for him.

Furthermore, even if Hanks were raised to be a god, the benefits would be limited.

It would be better to use it to upgrade one's spell level and enhance one's strength.

In any case, Hanks lives in his [domain] in a true spirit state.

If Hanks is needed to fight, it means Ankai is nearing the end.

At that point, Hanks's skill level was no longer important.

"Alright, I'm leaving. You can stay here from now on."

"Of all these palaces, you're the third living being to move in. Aren't you honored?"

However, when Hanks heard that Ankai was leaving, he panicked.

Where is the promised resurrected Queen Widow?

wrong!

Hanks was suddenly taken aback.

Ankai seems to have never promised the resurrection of the Widow King.

"Damn it! This kid doesn't really intend to revive her, does he?"

"Yes, she's weak and speaks rudely."

"He's not very bright either."

"She's alright, but not good-looking enough to catch that kid's eye."

"It's over!"

"Now she's really going to be a widow!"

While Hanks was muttering, Ankai was almost leaving the [Domain].

Seeing that An Kai's figure was about to disappear, and considering that this kid often disappeared for ten or eight years at a time, it was unknown when they would meet again.

Hanks was completely panicked.

"Ankai! You really don't plan to revive her?"

"You really have the heart to leave me all alone, don't you?!"

"Hey kid! You stop right there!"

Despite Hanks's shouts, Ankai's figure had already disappeared within the [domain].

"Old man, what are you yelling about? How dare you speak to Lord Ankai like that?"

suddenly

A soft female voice came from inside the palace, and then the palace door was pushed open.

It was indeed the spirit of Widow Wang, her brows furrowed.

She still looked like a middle-aged woman, with a voluptuous figure, and swayed as she walked towards Hanks.

As she walked, she made a striking motion with her pale arm, as if to indicate that she thought Hanks' words were inappropriate.

The figure of her lover reappeared.

Hanks burst into laughter through his tears.

"You brat, you tricked me again."

He chuckled and cursed under his breath, then quickly ran towards Widow Wang.

During the journey, Hanks heard Ankai's voice in his ear: "You old geezer, I heard everything you just said to me."

"Oh dear, Lord Ankai, you're so magnanimous, you don't hold a grudge against me."

During the explanation, Hanks' spirit met the widow's spirit, and the two embraced and wept.

"Where did you go? I can't find you anywhere."

"Lord Ankai said he would arrange for us to live in a divine palace, so I have to find a comfortable palace."

"Damn it, I've been scammed again!"

"It's good to be lied to, it's good to be lied to, I'd like to be lied to like this a few more times."

"We'll never be apart again. This time, it's truly for all eternity."

"Yes, thank you, Lord Ankai, for letting us meet again. So this is what it feels like to be dead. It's pitch black all around, and I... I can't find you anymore!"

"You two are a dog and a dog."

An Kai laughed and cursed.

Hanks is more than just able to keep a shred of humanity in him.

The words and actions of the Hanks couple also influenced Ankai.

Let him understand that true "love" still exists in this world.

This is the effect Hanks brought to Ankai.

Without Hanks, Ankai might have already completely fallen into ruin.

Sorry I'm late. There were just too many trivial things to do at home, and mainly because of the flu, I used up all my drafts. Otherwise, I wouldn't be late.

I was wrong, I'm sorry!
